19、of automation system units and accessories intended to be used in central-stations and proprietary stations for the reception, processing, dispatch, responses, and record keeping of property protection and life safety signals. Automated monitoring systems are a combination of computerized automation

20、 software and subsystems, including LAN/WAN network communications under control of the central-station. The monitoring system units and accessories and subsystems provide all the monitoring, control, communications audible indications and visual display functions of the system and shall meet all ap

21、plicable requirements as specied by this Standard. 1.2 These requirements also cover special considerations for proprietary and national industrial security system application software. 1.3 These requirements do not cover hardware receiver units that are evaluated under separate equipment standards

22、such as the Standard for Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems, UL 1076, the Standard for Central-Station Burglar Alarm Units, UL 1610, the Standard for Control Units and Accessories for Fire Alarm Systems, UL 864, and the Standard for Digital Alarm Communicator System Units, UL 1635. 1.4 Thes

23、e requirements do not cover the building needed to house the automation system, the staffing requirements, the power system(s), wiring expectations, spare parts, support policies, the specics required by the Monitoring Equivalent Weight (MEW) factor, and any other requirement that falls outside the

24、specics of this automation standard. This information can be found within the latest edition of Standard for Central-Station Alarm Services, UL 827. 2 Components 2.1 Except as indicated in 2.2, a component of a product covered by this Standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. S

25、ee Appendix A for a list of standards covering components used in the products covered by this Standard. 2.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in the application of the component in the product covered by this S

26、tandard; or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this Standard. 2.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.4 When specic components are incomplete in construction features or restricted in performance capabilities, such components ar

27、e intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions.

28、UTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3 Units of Measurement 3.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 4 Undated References 4.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard sha

29、ll be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 5 Glossary 5.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 5.2 ACTIVE SYSTEM A system that transmits one or both of the following signals to the central-station on a regular basis: a) A signal that the

30、 system has been disarmed and the protection removed (commonly referred to as opened”); or b) A signal that the system has been armed and the protection activated (commonly referred to as closed”). If an alarm system sends opening and closing (disarm and arm) signals, it is considered to be an activ

31、e system. Supervisory check-in signals transmitted from a system does not make it an active system. 5.3 ALARM-MONITORING SOFTWARE The sequence of instructions that tells the hardware how to handle the incoming signals and instructions from the keyboard. The alarm-monitoring software controls how the

32、 messages are stored in memory and how they are displayed at the operator station and printers. 5.4 ALARM SIGNAL A signal from an alarm system which requires immediate action. A signal, such as the alarm initiated from a manual box, a water-ow switch, an automatic re detector, an intrusion detection

33、 unit, hold-up initiating device, door contact, or tamper switch, a condition that the software has determined constitutes an alarm, that indicates an emergency, re or burglary condition requiring immediate action. 5.5 AUTOMATION SYSTEM A computer system that consists of hardware and software compon

34、ents. These components include the alarm-monitoring software supplied by the automation system developer, the operating system, and programming languages, required to make the system operational. An automation system may be congured as a computer system that is directly connected to hardware based c

35、entral-station receivers, internal software based receivers, or is connected to remote receivers located in central-stations other than the one where the automation system is located. It is used to automatically process change-of-status signals such as alarm, trouble, supervisory, disarming and armi

36、ng (i.e. opening and closing), and similar signals that it receives from the central-station receiving equipment. See the Standard for Central-Station Alarm Services, UL 827.

38、r components; operator station; printer; interface equipment; and similar equipment. 5.7 AUTOMATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE DEVELOPER A company that develops the alarm monitoring software and species the minimum hardware platform specications required for the combination of hardware and software to process

39、signals from a subscribers account in accordance with: a) The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72; b) The Standard for Central-Station Alarm Services, UL 827; c) The Standard for Proprietary Burglar Alarm Units and Systems, UL 1076; d) The Standard for Installation and Classication of Bu

40、rglar and Holdup Alarm Systems, UL 681; and e) The requirements of this Standard. 5.8 AUTOMATION SYSTEMS ALARM SYSTEM DATA BASE The system data base includes alarm system (account) information entered into the computer by central-station personnel. This information includes names and addresses of su

41、bscriber accounts; disarming and arming (opening and closing) schedules for individual alarm systems (accounts); dispatch information such as subscribers phone numbers, police department phone number. 5.9 BANDWIDTH The data transfer capacity of a network. It is measured in bits per second. 5.10 BATC

42、H ALARM CLEAR A process or utility that allows blanket clearing of alarms by type, geographical area, and/or priority. 5.11 CENTRAL-STATION A building, distributed group of buildings, or a distributed group of enclosed areas within a building that is occupied by the alarm service company that operat

43、es the central station, other businesses that are owned, and controlled by the alarm service company and which houses an operating room and equipment used to provide central-station service to protected properties. 5.12 CENTRAL STATION PERSONNEL Any employee of the central station who has the author

44、ity and access level to do what is described under specic paragraphs of this Standard. 5.13 CENTRAL-STATION SERVICE The use of a system or a group of systems in which the operation of circuits and devices at a protected property are signaled to, recorded in, and supervised from a central station hav

45、ing trained operators who, upon receipt of a signal, take such action as required by the nature of the signal received. 5.14 CERTIFICATED SYSTEM A system that is in compliance with the Standard for Installation and Classication of Burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems, UL 681, the Standard for Central-St

48、 operational. A unique signal that is initiated at a pre-established frequency, or an opening, closing, alarm signal, or any other signal sent by the alarm system that occurs within the pre-established frequency may serve as a check in signal. 5.16 COMPUTER CLUSTER (High-available clusters or Failov

49、er clusters) A group of two or more computers that are connected to form redundant nodes which are used to provide service when system components fail. Such high-availability or failover clusters are designed to use redundancy of cluster components to eliminate single points of failure. 5.17 COLD SYSTEM A system whose sole purpose is to be available in the event that the main system has experienced a catastrophic failure. The system is only turned on to update the software, th
